mortality/aging
• mutants are more vulnerable to hepatectomy surgery and most are either moribund or die by 48 hours after surgery

liver/biliary system
• mutants develop hemorrhagic liver destruction within the first few hours in response to apoptotic stimuli induced by Fas (Tnfrsf6) antibody compared to only minor liver damage in controls
• primary hepatocytes show reduced phagocytic activity towards bacteria (E.coli) than control cells
• hepatocytes exhibit increased sensitivity to Fas (Tnfrsf6)-induced apoptosis
• the ability of mutant livers to clear necrotic tissue and to repopulate the injured (by CCl4 exposure) area by regenerating hepatocytes is impaired
• associated with a persistent inflammatory reaction, overproduction of osteopontin, early and prominent dystrophic calcification, and impaired hepatocyte scattering/migration into diseased areas
• 80% of mutants die of acute liver failure in response to apoptotic stimuli induced by Fas (Tnfrsf6) antibody while controls survive

cardiovascular system
• mutants develop hemorrhagic liver destruction within the first few hours in response to apoptotic stimuli induced by Fas (Tnfrsf6) antibody compared to only minor liver damage in controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• mutants exhibit delayed healing after toxic liver injury induced by CCl4 exposure
• mutants are more vulnerable to hepatectomy surgery and most are either moribund or die by 48 hours after surgery
• hepatocytes fail to migrate in a standard wound healing assay

cellular
• hepatocytes exhibit increased sensitivity to Fas (Tnfrsf6)-induced apoptosis

endocrine/exocrine glands
• islets from pregnant mutants do not exhibit an increase in insulin content as seen in pregnant wild-type females
• pregnant females show decreased beta cell mass at gestational day 19 compared to controls, at a time when maximal beta-cell mass expansion occurs during pregnancy
• the decrease in beta-cell mass persists at postpartum day 4
• however, islet number and beta-cell size are similar to wild-type at gestational day 19
• apoptosis in beta-cells of mutant pregnant females is premature and is increased at gestational day 15, however at gestational day 19 and postpartum day 4, beta cell apoptosis is increased similarly in wild-type and mutant pregnant females
• mutant beta cells are more sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of a low dose of the synthetic hormone dexamethasone that does not induce cell death in wild-type islets
• pregnant females show a decrease in beta-cell proliferation at gestational day 15, when maximal beta-cell proliferation normally occurs during pregnancy
• beta-cell proliferation is also decreased at postpartum day 4
• however, beta-cell proliferation is similar to wild-type at gestational day 11 and 19
• islets from pregnant mutants do not exhibit an increase in insulin content as seen in pregnant wild-type females
• islets from mutant pregnant females do not exhibit an increase in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion at gestational day 19 that is seen in wild-type pregnant females

homeostasis/metabolism
• islets from pregnant mutants do not exhibit an increase in insulin content as seen in pregnant wild-type females
• islets from mutant pregnant females do not exhibit an increase in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion at gestational day 19 that is seen in wild-type pregnant females
• blood glucose is higher in pregnant mutant females at gestational day 19 than in wild-type pregnant females
• fasting blood glucose is increased in pregnant mutant females at gestational day 19 than in wild-type pregnant females
• plasma insulin levels are diminished in pregnant mutant females at gestational day 19 compared to wild-type pregnant females
• glucose tolerance is impaired more in pregnant mutant females than pregnant wild-type females at gestational day 15 and 19 and at postpartum day 4
• pregnant mutant females respond similarly to insulin tolerance tests at gestational day 18 as wild-type females, indicating that enhanced impairment in glucose tolerance is not related to changes in insulin sensitivity

cellular
• pregnant females show a decrease in beta-cell proliferation at gestational day 15, when maximal beta-cell proliferation normally occurs during pregnancy
• beta-cell proliferation is also decreased at postpartum day 4
• however, beta-cell proliferation is similar to wild-type at gestational day 11 and 19

• in the Morris water maze, mutants have a longer latency to locate the platform on the first 2 days of training than controls, however performance on the probe test and reversal probe test were normal, indicating normal hippocampal-mediated spatial learning
• open field activity and anxiety are not affected
• on reversal discriminations, mutants require more trials than controls, indicating impaired reversal learning
• mutants show increased latency performance on the cued-platform test, indicating a delay in striatal-dependent cued learning

nervous system
• marker analysis indicates an increase in numbers of PV+ and SST+ striatal GABAergic interneurons
• distribution of striatal interneurons is altered, with fewer cells of the population located in the medial (associative) regions and more cells in the lateral (sensorimotor) areas
• reduction in the numbers of PV+ GABAergic interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (28% loss) and the orbitofrontal cortex (31% loss)
• marker analysis indicates an increase in numbers of PV+ and SST+ striatal GABAergic interneurons
• however, striatum appears normal
